PERSHING RIFLES
HAS LONG HISTORY
Honorary Cadet Organization
Organized Almost Thirty
Years Ago
Almost thirty years ago. a young
man, just out of West Point, was
commandant of cadets at the Univer
sity of Nebraska. He was then prac
tically unknown and his work of or
ganizing the University Rifles was
e!one without ir-yon taking pariioul.'.r
notice of the event. For a long time
this body of expert drillers went un
der the name of Varsity Rifles but,
in the name was changed, to do
boner to the founder. Con. John J.
Pershine.
Today thV Pershing Rifles hold a
very unique place in military circles.
Although Nebraska is not a military
school, the membe rs of the Rifles.
1 i. ke d as they are from the ranks
of the cadets, are classed among the
best drilled units in the United States.
We are proud of this faet. Our gen-
ral is proud of it to,i and is kind
enough to give us credit in his var
ious speeches throughout the coun
try. The ambition of every man in
tl.e company is to live up In tin's rcp

in a military way in time of need.

Selection of Officers.
The officers of the company are se
lected by vote of the members of the
company. This year Joe N'oh served
yb'y as Captain assisted by Lieuten
: iits Norn's Coats and Stephen King.
Tho Rif.es are a democratic body. A
captain of a company may find him
self drilling beside a private in the

of some other private. Former regi-
